Hi
a friend had around 50 pictures on his 1gig CF. he viewed the pictures on
the camera and they were find, suddenly they all reduced in size and then it
came up with "card Error". i have just checked the Cf and it's unformatted
even drive recovery software reports nothing. I don't know what the camera
is but i will get in touch with him, but for now has anyone got any ideas??
